What the phone looks like for a Coventry taxi firm
Coventry and the wider Warwickshire has a population of around 400,000, built on automotive engineering, logistics and a large student rental market. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a taxi firm working across Earlsdon, Cheylesmore and Tile Hill most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Nobody waits on hold for a taxi. They hang up and ring the next firm or open an app.
Callwise answers on your own 024 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Coventry taxi firms ask us
Do we keep our 024 number?
Yes. Your existing 024 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Coventry customers reach you changes.
Do you work with taxi firms outside Coventry?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Coventry and everywhere across Warwickshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Our problem is everyone ringing at once. Does it help?
It is the one thing that does. It answers any number of calls simultaneously, so a Saturday night rush does not produce an engaged tone.
Can it quote a fare?
From your price list or your zones, yes, which is what most callers want before booking.
What about advance airport bookings?
It takes the flight, the time and the address, and those are your most profitable jobs and the easiest to lose.

Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Coventry customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
